Consumption of alcohol
- increases mental and physical reaction times.
- does not change mental or physical reactions.
- decreases mental and physical reaction times.
Explanation from PART66Online
Alcohol is a depressant that slows the nervous system, so it lengthens, or increases, both mental and physical reaction times, making responses slower. Saying it has no effect, or that it speeds reactions up, is the opposite of its true depressant action on performance.
